Read before welcoming new members

someone got bored and started digging up newbie post from the past... as in a year ago. Before you welcome someone, you might want to read the date of the original post....

Someone my ass - it was MgA-OdEn Dude was on a vigilante campaign to make a point

It's MgA ODEN

Seriously, please don't do that any more. It makes it hard to see who the real newbies are. We all want to welcome all the new members. If we have 30 old posts that people are bringing back to the top, the new people will get lost in the shuffle. I don't want to start locking all newbie posts to keep people from bringing up old posts, but I will if it comes to that.

Perfect example. This is from a new member who joined on 11/26/05. His intro was on page 7. What do you think this makes him think about this site?

Wow . . this was pushed back to page 7. . . lol. I just read the post that someone was pulling all the old posts and responding to them. For a minute there, I thought that all those people had joined after me over the last 2 days . . lol.

sorry... I was just trying to stop the others from welcoming the old post. I posted to a lot of them until I noticed some of the threads were welcome by Amanda and were talking about how new the site is... then I started looking at the dates.

I wasn't refering to you Don. You're fine. I was mainly refering to the members who just go and say "hi" to every post on the newbie area & bring up posts from 2004 saying hello. We know who the ones creating the problems are. Everyone just needs to start paying attention to the post they are replying to.

jeez and i thought a shit load of peaple just joined sunday lmao

Wow, nice catch...

Went from Newbie to Nobie in a week... Well I was Nobie anyway, but this site is very impressive so keep up the great work!

I feel you Chain & Don...I am one that speaks and welcomes all who are new members and add a little more to those asking questions but I never looked at the dates because I never thought we would have other members pulling old "Newbies" back up. We have to adapt to our ever changing environment. I'll pay attention to the date from now on. Thanks....whoever is doing that trash.

Maybe you should delete the "top 10 posters" thing on the side of the page..that would not give some newbies a target...who cares how many post you have?? I know I have alot of them, but I do not respond to old threads and say ' Ditto"

I was gone for about two weeks. I have been bringing some from two weeks ago back up that I hadn't got to yet. I feel it is important to welcome everyone. Sorry.
